EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing scene from the Aeneid, an epic poem by Virgil. Created in 1472-73 by the Netherlandish School during the 15th century, this vellum manuscript is a true masterpiece of medieval illumination. The image depicts a ship sailing amidst turbulent waters towards a majestic castle perched on a hilltop. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this ancient tale to life, as flames engulf parts of the castle, casting an eerie glow across the landscape. The artist's skillful brushstrokes capture both the beauty and destruction within this mythical world. With kind permission from the Earl of Leicester and Trustees of the Holkham Estate, we are fortunate to witness this remarkable piece that transports us back in time. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend centuries, allowing us to connect with stories and cultures long gone. As we gaze upon this illuminated artwork, we are reminded of Virgil's enduring legacy and his ability to captivate audiences through his words. This particular scene evokes emotions ranging from awe at nature's power to fear for those caught in its path. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with an extraordinary glimpse into history through their vast collection. Let us cherish these treasures that remind us of our shared human experiences throughout time.
